Are private gun sales allowed in Connecticut without a background check?

  1. Yes, for all firearms

  2. Yes, but only for long guns

  3. No, background checks are required for all sales

  4. Yes, but only for handguns

The correct answer is: No, background checks are required for all sales

In Connecticut, background checks are required for all sales of firearms, including private gun sales. This requirement helps ensure that individuals purchasing firearms undergo a background check to determine their eligibility to own a firearm legally. By mandating background checks for all sales, Connecticut aims to enhance public safety by preventing firearms from falling into the wrong hands.
